[0023] like Figure 1-6As shown, this utility model addresses the problems of low efficiency, poor precision, and low safety caused by manual sawing of automotive water-cut trim strips, and provides the following technical solution: An automated sawing device for the ends of automotive water-cut trim strips, comprising a machine base 1 and a robot 2. The robot 2 is located on the upper middle part of the machine base 1 and is an ABB robot. A robot control cabinet 10 is located on the right side of the machine base 1. Sawing fixtures 3 are located on the front and rear sides of the robot 2, and a sawing device 4 is located at the end of the robot 2. The sawing fixture 3 includes a mounting bracket 31 located on the upper side of the machine base 1. A fixture base plate 32 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 31. First positioning seats 33 are located at both ends of the upper side of the fixture base plate 32. Multiple second positioning seats 34 are arranged between the first positioning seats 33 along its length. At least one rotary clamping cylinder 35 is located on the side of the first positioning seats 33 and the second positioning seats 34. A clamping block 36 is installed on the movable end of the rotary clamping cylinder 35. The clamping block 36 clamps the water-cut trim strip on the first positioning seat 33 and the second positioning seat 34 to ensure that the water-cut trim strip will not be displaced during the sawing process. A slide rail 37 is provided on one side of the second positioning seat 34 along the front-back direction. A support block 38 is installed on the slider of the slide rail 37. A first cylinder 39 is vertically installed on one end of the support block 38. A product placement block 391 is provided on the movable end of the first cylinder 39. A second cylinder 310 is provided on the other end of the support block 38 to drive its front-back movement. A through slot 311 is provided on the upper right side of the fixture base plate 32. A marking device 312 is provided at the bottom of the slot 311. The coordinated operation of the robot 2 and the sawing fixture 3 realizes the rapid and continuous processing of the end of the water-cut trim strip. The sawing fixture can accurately position and clamp the water-cut trim strip, ensuring the sawing accuracy and the quality of the trim strip sawing.

[0024] Specifically, the first positioning seat 33 is provided with a sawing groove 331 to avoid the blade of the sawing device 4 when sawing the trim strip.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, waste bins 5 are provided on both sides of the machine base 1 near the sawing fixture 3 to facilitate the collection of waste material from the sawn ends.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, a groove 6 is inclinedly provided between the clamp base plate 32 and the waste bin 5, and the sawn-off trim ends enter the waste bin 5 through the groove 6.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, a fence assembly 7 is provided on the outer ring of the upper side of the machine base 1. The fence assembly 7 has a feeding port 8 on the side near the sawing fixture 3. The fence assembly 7 separates the working area of ​​the equipment from the operator. The operator feeds and retrieves materials at the feeding port 8, which is highly safe.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, a material rack 9 is provided on the bottom outer side of the feeding port 8, and the material rack 9 is used to place the decorative strips to be processed.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, a blocking block 313 is provided on the upper side of the slot 311. A third cylinder 314 is provided on one side of the blocking block 313 to drive it to cover or open the slot 311. When marking, the blocking block 313 opens the slot 311. When sawing, the blocking block 313 can effectively prevent dust and debris from entering the slot 311 and affecting the normal operation of the marking device.

[0030] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, a limiting block 315 is fixedly provided on the fixture base plate 32 near the slot 311. When the third cylinder 314 drives the blocking block 313 to move, the limiting block 315 limits the blocking block 313.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, during production, the operator places the automotive water-cut trim strips to be processed on the material rack 9, ensuring that the water-cut trim strips are neatly arranged. The movable end of the first cylinder 39 drives the product placement block 391 to move upward. The second cylinder 310 moves, driving the support block 38 and the first cylinder 39 to move upward to the material inlet 8. The operator places the automotive water-cut trim strips on the material rack 9 onto the product placement block 391. The second cylinder 310 moves, driving the support block 38 to slide along the moving slide rail 37 into the sawing fixture 3. After moving into position, the first cylinder 39 moves downward, placing the automotive water-cut trim strip onto the first positioning seat 33 and the second positioning seat 34. The rotary clamping cylinder 35 moves, and the clamping block 36 at its movable end presses down on the automotive water-cut trim strip to complete the fixing of the automotive water-cut trim strip. Then, the robot 2 controls the sawing device 4 to move and saw the trim strip. After sawing is completed, when the trim strip on one side of the sawing fixture 3 is finished, the robot 2... Returning to the opposite sawing fixture 3 for work, simultaneously, the third cylinder 314 drives the blocking block 313 to move, opening the slot 311 and exposing the marking device 312. The marking device 312 marks the water-cut trim according to the preset marking information. After marking is completed, the third cylinder 314 drives the blocking block 313 to move. When the blocking block 313 contacts the limiting block 315, the third cylinder 314 stops moving, and the blocking block 313 covers the slot 311 again. The rotary clamping cylinder 35 opens, releasing the water-cut trim. The sawing waste falls into the chute 6 through the slot 311 and is guided into the waste bin 5 for collection. The movable end of the first cylinder 39 drives the product placement block 391 to move upward. The second cylinder 310 moves, driving the support block 38 and the first cylinder 39 to move upward to the material port 8. The operator takes out the processed car water-cut trim and continues to put the water-cut trim to be processed on the material rack 9.

[0032] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0033] Furthermore, in this utility model, the use of terms such as "first," "second," etc., is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.
